approaches
Core Cascade Approaches in NYC
• Shift context through law/policy—NYS Mandated Offer (2010); Institutional Quality Indicators
• Deploy/optimize new technologies--support screening tests that minimize the window period (4th gen EIA)
• Normalize HIV screening for NYC resident and providers through social marketing
Test
• Community Mobilization—Include/engage all partners to play their role (Jurisdictional Scale Up)
• Maximize evidence-based strategies (navigation, partner services) through contracts and DOH FSU
• Train designated navigators on linkage models that work (ARTAS)
• Drive programmatic change contractually—ensure that desired actions are discreet payment points
Link
• ? Reward participant for linkage (HPTN 065)
• Improve ‘relay’ between testing and care agencies (linkage navigators begin MCM intake).
• Deploy effective medical case management with optimized supports (Care Coordination)
• Use contracting process to support co-localization of services (substance use; mental health)
Retain
• Optimize collaboration between clinic and DOH to find out of care individuals (FSU, registry)
• Train providers on new DHHS guidelines.
• Deploy multi-tier treatment adherence approaches that ‘graduate’ toward self-sufficiency
Adhere/ • Provide ‘feedback’ data to individual sites for CQI: (‘Care Continuum Dashboards’)
Suppress
Shifting the Context by Changing the Law
Chapter 308: Laws of 2010
MANDATORY OFFER of HIV test
to all persons 13-64 most
healthcare settings
Simplified consent
Documented oral consent for
tests that process in < 60 min
General medical consent ok
Consent is now durable
Simplified lab ordering
Requires active linkage to care
Chapter 308 of the Laws of 2010
•LINKAGE:
“With the consent of the subjec t of a test indicating evidence
of HIV infection or, if the subject lacks capacity to consent,
with the consent of the person authorized pursuant to law to
consent to health care for the subject, the person who
ordered the performance of the HIV related test, or such
person's representative, shall provide or arrange with a
health care provider for an appointment for follow-up
medical care for HIV for such subject.”
•USE OF REGISTRY DATA
February 2012 regulations expanded use of registry data to
allow limited communication on individual patients between
HD and provider of last record (‘follow-up needed’).
